“He had a hard time getting past the breakup. We recently exchanged some words. It was awkward, I admit. And he’s not a great guy. But I can’t imagine him doing anything like this.”

“Anyone else?”

Hannah opened her mouth to speak, but hesitated. I nodded at her, encouraging her to speak up.

“There’s this guy that lives upstairs,” she said nervously. “He seems kind of shady. I got a bad vibe.”

Theo’s gaze sharpened. “Name?”

“We didn’t exactly exchange information.”

“Can you describe him?”

As Hannah gave details, I stayed close, ready to offer support. But she held it together, spine straightening as she unburdened her suspicions. I felt a swell of pride for this brave, beautiful woman. And a surge of protectiveness. No one would hurt her again. Not if I could help it.

After Theo finished questioning us, I turned to Hannah.

“Let me give you a ride home,” I said.

“On that thing?”

I laughed, happy her nerves were focused on my bike now rather than the danger she faced tonight. I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her forehead.

“I promise I’ll keep you safe, Doc.”

She nodded, a flicker of relief in her eyes. I handed her my spare helmet and swung onto my bike, steadying it as she climbed on behind me. Her arms wrapped around my waist, tentative at first, then gripping tighter as I kicked the engine to life.

And damn did it feel good.

We rode through the quiet streets, streetlamps casting circles of light along the road. A breeze drifted in from the ocean, carrying the scent of salt and seaweed. Hannah leaned into me, her cheek pressed against my back. I was hyperaware of every point of contact between us, the soft press of her body molding to mine feeling like Heaven.

A primal possessiveness rose in me, loving the feel of this woman in my arms, relying on me. Needing me. I wanted to protect her, shield her from all harm. Keep her close forever. The intensity of the emotions startled me, but I didn’t fight them. For the first time in my life, I felt like I’d found somewhere I belonged. With her.

We pulled up to her little pink cottage and I walked her to the door, reluctant to let the night end. She gazed up at me, eyes luminous in the moonlight.

“Thank you, for everything,” she said softly.

I smiled. “You never have to thank me.”

She rose up on her tip toes, pressing her lips against mine in the sweetest kiss. But I couldn’t help wanting more. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to me, deepening the kiss.

Passion ignited between us, a fiery intensity that had been building since the moment we met. Our bodies pressed against each other, fitting perfectly like two puzzle pieces. I could feel the heat radiating from her, matching the fervor burning within me.

Hannah’s fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as our lips moved together in a dance of desire. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent, as if we were trying to convey all our pent-up emotions with every touch of our lips.

My hands roamed over her body, exploring every curve and dip as she moaned into my mouth. The sound was intoxicating, fueling my hunger for her. I wanted to taste every inch of her skin, leave trails of fire with my lips and tongue.

We stumbled through the doorway, desperate to reach her bed. Clothes were discarded in a frenzy, leaving a trail behind us. In that moment, nothing else mattered except for the two of us and the raw, unbridled passion that consumed us.

The room was dimly lit, shadows dancing on the walls as we fell onto the bed, a tangle of limbs and desire. Our bodies moved together with a primal rhythm, fueled by a hunger that had been building for far too long.

Every touch, every kiss sent electric shocks through my veins, igniting a fire within me that threatened to consume us both.

Hannah’s soft moans filled the air, music to my ears as I explored every inch of her with an intensity born out of longing. Her skin was warm and smooth beneath my fingertips, her body yielding to my touch as we lost ourselves in each other.

I worshipped her body with my hands and mouth, touching and tasting every inch of her skin. When I reached her core, I couldn’t hold back or spend time teasing her the way I knew I would later. I needed her to come for me now. The taste of her on my tongue was intoxicating, driving me to push her further into ecstasy.
